   Hm. Could this be yet another GSBug fault? I didn't spend last week
looking at the guts before Baz and I decided that we needed some real
strong medicine to feed GSBug and GNO.

   This sounds like the ADB toolset is getting stuck in one mode that
rebooting doesn't clear. 1) Have you tried turning off "QuickResponse;"
that keeps T2 from delving into the ADB hooks. 2) Rebooting is never
a very good thing; try powering down right after a crash and see if
an obscure interaction between a RamFAST and GSBug appears? :)

   If this appears only when QuickResponse is on, a pre-patch to
the ProDOS file might be in order. Then again, Orca/ED is such a lame
piece of junk... get Edit-16!
